The gamma index (γ) is one of the most commonly used metrics for the verification of
complex modulated radiotherapy. The mathematical definition of the γ is computationally …

Purpose Patient‐specific quality assurance (QA) measurement is conducted to confirm the
accuracy of dose delivery. However, measurement is time‐consuming and places a heavy …

Purpose This study aimed to develop and evaluate a novel strategy for establishing a deep
learning‐based gamma passing rate (GPR) prediction model for volumetric modulated arc …

Abstract Introduction The education of Therapeutic Radiographers (TRs) is regulated in
some countries but is not standardised across the EU, leading to differences in …

The purpose of this study was to develop a predictive model for patient‐specific VMAT QA
results using multileaf collimator (MLC) effect and texture analysis. The MLC speed …

Purpose Gamma evaluation is the most commonly used technique for comparison of dose
distributions for patient‐specific pretreatment quality assurance in radiation therapy …

Background Automatic patient‐specific quality assurance (PSQA) is recently explored using
artificial intelligence approaches, and several studies reported the development of machine …

In radiotherapy, air-filled ion chamber detectors are ubiquitously used in routine dose
measurements for treatment planning. However, its use has been restricted by intrinsic low …

This study aimed to investigate the impact of delivery characteristics on the dose delivery
accuracy of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for different treatment sites. The …

A survey of radiation oncology medical physics departments across Australia and New
Zealand was conducted to assess the usage, commissioning and quality assurance of …
